1. CEO Jesus?

2. This'll ...

upset a few people. (And rightfully so.)

[Segami]

3. ' Few People ' is an understatement. The pitchforks are being prepped.

[patrice]

4. Tax ChurchCoC.

5. This is so far from true religion

The bible has been twisted and turned so many times no wonder no one really follows it.

Of course the mormons have their own book to go along with it…

If the majority of people in this country didn't go to church they would change the tax laws but the way it is they don't want the christians to get upset...

6. I've been to the polynesian theme park in Hawaii

I had a really good time, except I couldn't get a decent soda or coffee there.

[Wellstone ruled]

7. Plus,if you put your money in their church,

you will receive a monthly stipend,oh say,100k,what every and it's tax exempt.

Tax the liven bejesus out of all churches!!!!!

[patrice]

8. Bloomberg's is catching it for this article. The usual claims that it's about "religious freedom".

[get the red out]

10. The media can't even deny religious freedom

By reporting on something, they aren't removing anyone's freedom. People get discussion and government control confused too easily. People get all angry because of something in the news media discussing their religion in an unfavorable light as if that somehow nullifies the Constitution. I don't get that.

9. Hilarious video from the "Mormon Ambassador" regarding the new church owned City Creek Mall

The Bloomberg article mentions the mall, and I thought of the video, the guy does a very funny satire of a true believing Mormon.

Here is the mall: http://images.businessweek.com/slideshows/2012-07-11/the-mormon-global-business-empire#slide4

11. lol

Some will be upset about the truth telling

[siligut]

12. Alex Witt had a guest on to talk about this, nothing about how it is more of a business than church

Talked about the charities the church owns and how it was fine that a church owns stock in Burger King, because it was a donation. Now, onto Casey Anthony . . .
